In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 8,199 gross tons, Mendoza is the 38,556th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 1.4 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 58,086 vessels this registry holds no type classification for held here, it ranks 22,065th by tonnage — larger than 56% of that group. Their median tonnage is 5,358 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 54,309 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (5,698 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 615 hulls on record.
France is the country of registry for 517 vessels in this directory, of which Mendoza is the 148th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (313 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,161 GT. Browse every ship flagged France.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 313 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the France flag, of which 63 are larger by tonnage.
Mendoza was built in 1920, making it 106 years old. It is one of 58 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,194 GT; within it this ship is the 3rd largest. Across the whole of the 1920s the registry holds 516 vessels, median 2,350 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 124 vessels to Swan Hunter, with a median tonnage of 6,944 GT, delivered between 1903 and 2006. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 150.0 m overall, Mendoza is 35.0 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 1168677 this registry holds 36 other vessels, whose median build year is 1942 and which range from 1920 to 1948. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1920.
Its IMO number, 1168677, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 1×7 + 1×6 + 6×5 + 8×4 + 6×3 + 7×2 = 107 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
Same yard, same years
No ship class is recorded for this vessel, so these are not asserted to be sister ships — they are contemporaries from the same builder, shown because that is what the data supports.
